Explain how the Dhola Sadiya Bridge has improved the lives of people in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

The Dhola Sadiya Bridge, also called Bhupen Hazarika Setu, connects Assam and Arunachal Pradesh across the Lohit River. Before its construction, people relied on ferries that did not operate during floods. The bridge provides year-round travel, cutting journey time by four hours. Farmers can now transport vegetables and fruits to markets before they spoil, whilst people can access hospitals and medicines faster even during floods.
